Mr. Dan Hamilton Williams' Obituary
Dan Hamilton Williams was born to the late John D. and Carrie B. Williams on October 5, 1954 in Stockton, Alabama. Dan was a member of Greater St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Alabama. Dan was nurtured by two wonderful women, the late Miss Annie Pearl Bolden and Mrs. Annie Green. Both women trained and loved him as they did their own children. He was very much grateful and appreciative of the love and care he received. Dan departed this life on Friday, August 31, 2018 at the H.C. Watkins Memorial Hospital in Quitman, Mississippi. He was preceded in death by a brother, Johnnie Williams and a sister, Antinette Bolden. Dan was a granddaddy's boy. He learned many, many trades from his grandfather, Mr. Willie Thomas, everything from plumping, electrical, driving, and any machinery. Whatever you needed him to fix whenever and however you needed to get it done. Whatever was going on and whoever it was going on with, he would get right in there with them. Dan worked on jobs from a moving company to a shipyard to offshore where he continued his employment with Chevron. In 1996, Dan became disabled. Dan was married to Mrs. Loretta Johnson while residing in Alabama and to this union, one son, Dan E. Williams, was born. Later, Dan moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where he met Mrs. Barbara Nobles. In 1983, Dan then moved to Mississippi where he and Barbara were united in holy matrimony and he became father to her daughter, Kamesha. To this union, three daughters were born. Dan united with the St. Mary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Curtis Walker, Sr. who in later years crowned him Deacon Dan Williams. He worked hard in and around the church inspired by his father, the late, Deacon John D. Williams. Sometimes his goodness was taken for granted but he knew who his rewarder was. Dan had a passion for the law, bail bonding, bounty hunting, and the wellbeing of the county. He worked with the Clarke County Development Board and worked with The Poor Man's Bail Bonding Company.
